Supermarket Flowers

[Verse 1]I took the supermarket flowers from the windowsillI threw the day old tea from the cupPacked up the photo album Matthew had madeMemories of a life that's been lovedTook the get well soon cards and stuffed animalsPoured the old ginger beer down the sinkDad always told me, "Don't you cry when you're down"But mum, there's a tear every time that I blink

[Pre-Chorus 1]Oh I'm in pieces, it's tearing me up, but I knowA heart that's broke is a heart that's been loved

[Chorus]So I'll sing HallelujahYou were an angel in the shape of my mumWhen I fell down you'd be there holding me upSpread your wings as you goAnd when God takes you back we'll say HallelujahYou're home

[Verse 2]Fluffed the pillows, made the beds, stacked the chairs upFolded your nightgowns neatly in a caseJohn says he'd drive then put his hand on my cheekAnd wiped a tear from the side of my face

[Pre-Chorus 2]I hope that I see the world as you did 'cause I knowA life with love is a life that's been lived

[Outro/Chorus]HallelujahYou were an angel in the shape of my mumYou got to see the person I have becomeSpread your wings and I knowThat when God took you back he said HallelujahYou're home
